What customers say about "Connectivity"
BenQ EX3501R Curved Gaming Monitor
  • The usb-c support is neat and the monitor can be used as a docking station with just the need to plug one cable to connect a laptop.
  • Cables for different connection types are included.
  • It was immediately recognized once connected and mounted as 2nd monitor.
  • I tested with multiple sources and connections, all showed the same results, a noticeably darker area.
  • There is however only 2 USB ports which is a little frustrating as I need 3 for my setup.
